Specify Your AZEK PVC Decking Collection and Color
AZEK PVC Decking offers three main collections: Vintage, Landmark, and Harvest. Each collection has distinct visual characteristics and available board widths. The Vintage Collection features wire-brushed, low-gloss boards, available in 5-1/2 inch and 7-1/4 inch widths. The Landmark Collection provides cathedral grain patterns and multi-tonal color blends, typically in a 5-1/2 inch width. The Harvest Collection offers straight, subtle graining in solid classic tones, also in a 5-1/2 inch width.
Beyond the collection, specifying your chosen color is crucial. For example, if you prefer the Vintage Collection, you might select 'Coastline' or 'English Walnut'. For the Landmark Collection, 'Dark Hickory' or 'American Walnut' are options. The Harvest Collection includes colors like 'Slate Gray' and 'Kona'. While colors do not typically affect pricing within the same collection, confirming your choice ensures the quote reflects your desired aesthetic. If you are still deciding, you may request quotes for a few different options.
Provide Exact Project Dimensions and Layout Details
Accurate measurements are the foundation of any material quote. Clearly state the total dimensions of your deck or outdoor living space. For our hypothetical 12-foot by 20-foot main deck and 6-foot by 8-foot landing, these dimensions are essential. Also, indicate if your project involves multiple levels, steps, or distinct sections. For steps, provide the width, run, and rise for each step.
Consider the layout. If you plan a picture-frame border, as in our example, specify the dimensions of the border and the interior field. This detail affects not only the quantity of grooved vs. square edge boards but also potential waste and cuts. For complex shapes or multiple angles, a simple sketch or diagram can be invaluable. Even a hand-drawn diagram with clear measurements can help us visualize the project and calculate materials more accurately.
Select Board Profile and Edge Options
AZEK PVC decking boards are generally available in a 1 inch by 5-1/2 inch profile, with the Vintage Collection also offering a 7-1/4 inch width. You will also need to decide between grooved edge boards, designed for hidden fasteners, and square edge boards, typically used for face fastening or for the perimeter of a deck (like a picture frame).
For a picture-frame border, square edge boards are commonly used for the perimeter, while grooved edge boards fill the interior field. For the hypothetical 12-foot by 20-foot deck with a picture frame and a 6-foot by 8-foot landing, you would need to specify the footage of both grooved and square edge boards for each area. If you plan to use a different width for the border than the field, make that clear as well.
Account for Fascia, Risers, and Fasteners
Beyond the main decking boards, consider complementary materials. AZEK PVC decking offers matching fascia and riser boards to complete the look of your project. Similarly, if the step down to the landing requires a riser, specify its dimensions. Include the linear footage needed for these elements.
Fasteners are another critical component. Specifying your preferred fastening method and the type of boards you will use (grooved or square edge) allows us to include the correct quantity of fasteners in your quote. If you are unsure, we can provide options.
Provide Your Project ZIP Code and Timing
Your project's ZIP code is essential for calculating accurate freight costs and confirming service options. Material availability can sometimes vary by region, and providing your location upfront helps us verify stock and delivery logistics. This ensures the quote reflects the true landed cost of the materials to your site.
Also, include your desired project timeline or when you anticipate needing the materials. While we cannot guarantee exact delivery dates without a firm order, knowing your timeframe helps us communicate lead times and plan accordingly. If your project has a specific deadline, mentioning it early allows us to assess feasibility.

Questions to help you decide
Why do I need to specify the collection and color for a quote?
While AZEK PVC Decking maintains consistent quality across its lines, different collections can have varying board widths and aesthetic treatments. Specifying your chosen collection and color ensures the quote reflects the exact product you desire. This prevents potential discrepancies and ensures you receive materials that match your design vision.
Can I get a quote if I don't have exact measurements yet?
While we can provide a preliminary estimate based on approximate dimensions, an accurate quote for materials requires precise measurements. We recommend having your final project dimensions, including any steps, landings, or special features, before requesting a detailed quote. This minimizes changes and ensures you order the correct quantities.
What if I'm unsure about the type of fasteners I need?
If you are unsure about fasteners, you can indicate this in your quote request. We can include options for both hidden fasteners (typically used with grooved edge boards) and face fasteners (for square edge boards). Your installer may also have a preference, so discussing this with them can be helpful before finalizing your order.
